My name is quinlan. I'm new to this forum so I apologize if this question is in the wrong place or has been asked before. I have canon camera with which I have taken a alot of photos and copied them to my Mac system. Formatted memory card and wanted them to be shared to my friends so cut and paste them on friends pen drive. I performed cut operation instead of copy. And again formatted pen drive as it had some other data. Now i dont have photos on memory card nor computer nor pen drive. Is there any way to get back the photos?
wanted to know if I can get back photos on Mac system

Did you use iPhoto? If so look in the trash icon within iPhoto
If you used Finder instead then the images are gone unless you use Time Machine in which case you can go back to when the files existed.

My iPhoto Libarary folder does not have a trash folder/icon? in it? (Not sure what you meant by "icon.")Did you use iPhoto? If so look in the trash icon within iPhoto

When you open iPhoto, you should see a garbage can icon that says Trash on the left column.

Have you written other files to the pen since? Is it flash memory? If no to the first -- and possibly even if yes, as long as you didn't fill the drive -- file recovery software may be able to help.....
Try googling "Photo Rescue" and "Data Rescue" they were two apps that I have occasionally used to recover image files from a colleague's corrupt card -- though my experience is probably 6-7 years out of date....
One of those programs used to come free with Lexar professional compact flash cards -- might check their website. The other one was a paid program, you could run a free tool from their website to determine if anything was recoverable; actual recovery would require buying the program....

Oh - thanks. I'm a silly person - I was looking in the folder hierarchy.When you open iPhoto, you should see a garbage can icon that says Trash on the left column.

It's ok, took me a couple years to figure out iPhoto trash is different than regular trash.
